Ice Cube's ESPN Documentary Shows N.W.A. Gave Raiders New Image
Ice Cube's Straight Outta L.A. isn't the typical film you'd expect from the creator of the Friday movies. This made-for-ESPN documentary reveals the economic and cultural impact N.W.A. had on one of professional sports' most popular, recognizeable, and iconic franchises: the Raiders. N.W.A. was Cube's gangsta-rap group from the late eighties which, some sources say, started the gangsta rap penomenon. N.W.A. liked almost everything about the Raiders including their uniform colors and pirate logo. The group even adopted the team's ruthless on-the-field demeanor as part of the group's own image. This came at a time in history when hip hop had just became a global phenomenon. As fans worldwide watched N.W.A. wear Raiders apparrel on every album cover, phot and video shoot, the team went from profiting millions to billions in a few years. Straight Outta L.A. premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival and will be aired on ESPN for part of its "30 for 30" documentary series, in which the director's personal involvement proves integral to the subject. Here are some questions Ice Cube answered in a recent interview about the film.
Who came up with the title for your new documentary?
It was pretty simple really. We named our album In 1989 Straight out of Compton and the Raiders were in and out of LA so quick. The title was an easy way to sum up what the picture was about.
The fusion of music and sports?
That's right. In a lot of ways. Music has done a lot to enhance the emotions of sports. It's played in arenas. Whenever there is footage cut together they're always using music. And it goes together, you know. Sports without music is just a game. Music makes it entertaining.
You've gotten some incredible talent to participate on this film!
Yeah! We've got Ice-T, Snoop Dogg, Chuck D, got John Madden, Al Davis, Marcus Allen, and we've got a lot of politicians who were around at that time. So, to me, we've got a full array of ideas and points of view. It makes for a good documentary.
